You know how your parents always say, "You can change your life with healthy habits"? Did you know scientists have been studying this in children for years? They want to understand health markers in kids and how these markers transform as kids grow into teens. Not all countries share
Imagine having a tiny gadget on your finger. This gadget calculates when you ovulate. It records the data from your finger. How cool is that? It is a device named Oura Ring. Oura calculates the exact ovulation date. This time is when you are most fertile. A person can use this for timing pregnancie
Is there an answer to why some people get really sick blood diseases MDS is a life threatening disease that can affect anyone. It turns into acute myeloid leukemia half the time. People are born with it or get it from dodgy cells that grow and clone in their blood. There are people with MDS living
Researchers have found a strong link between a specific protein in blood, called phosphorylated tau217, and memory problems in people with Alzheimer's disease. This protein, found in plasma, can hint at the earlier stages of Alzheimer's. While scientists already knew that these proteins could show c
Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) is a tricky health puzzle, causing symptoms like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Scientists have been hard at work trying to understand what’s going on inside our bodies when we react to gluten without having celiac disease (CeD). New discoveries show that NCGS h
Imagine if we could capture a snapshot of the chaos inside tumors, revealing crucial clues about how breast cancer cells interact with their surroundings. That's what scientists are doing with something called spatial profiling. They're using three advanced imaging tools—cyclic immunofluorescence (C
Early detection is key when it comes to treating prostate cancer effectively. Yet, overdiagnosing and overtreating clinically insignificant cancers is a common issue. This highlights the importance of having better tools to predict a patient's risk accurately. Recently, scientists focused on a test
Digital biomarkers are becoming more common in healthcare, helping doctors make better decisions. Speech is a complex process that involves breathing, voice production, mouth movements, and the way sounds echo. These processes depend on specific brain and body systems. When something goes wrong, it
Scientists are now using a new technique called next-generation sequencing to look at many genes in cancer cells at once. This helps them figure out which treatments could work best. The method was tested in multiple places to make sure it's reliable and accurate. It's like having a detailed roadmap
Imagine you're a detective solving a mystery on Mars. You don't want to be limited to a few snapshots or vague descriptions, right? That's why scientists want to bring samples from Mars back to Earth for deeper analysis. Sure, rovers like Perseverance are doing an awesome job snapping photos and zap
